The inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a main regulator of fibrinogen synthesis, though its interaction with fibrinogen genes (FGA, FGB, FGG) in relation to CVD risk is not well-studied in humans. We investigated joint associations of common fibrinogen and IL6 tagSNPs with fibrinogen level, carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and risk of myocardial infarction (MI) or ischemic stroke in 3900 European-American participants of the Cardiovascular Health Study. To identify combinations of genetic main effects and interactions associated with each outcome, we used logic regression. We also evaluated whether the relationship between fibrinogen SNPs and fibrinogen level varied by IL-6 level using linear regression models with multiplicative interaction terms. Combinations of fibrinogen and IL6 SNPs were associated with fibrinogen level (p<0.005), but not with IMT (p>0.30), MI (p=0.73) or stroke (p=0.21). Fibrinogen levels were higher in higher in individuals having FGB1437 (rs1800790) minor alleles and lacking FGA6534 (rs6050) minor alleles; these SNPs interacted with IL6 rs1800796 to influence fibrinogen level. Marginally significant (p=0.03) interactions between IL-6 level and SNPs located in promoter regions of FGA and FGG associated with fibrinogen levels were detected. We identified potential gene-gene interactions influencing fibrinogen levels. Although IL-6 responsive binding sites are present in fibrinogen gene promoter regions, we did not find strong evidence of interaction between fibrinogen SNPs and IL6 SNPs or levels influencing CVD risk.
